Brutal review posted this week in the Coast for a band with “aggravating pitch”. I can’t believe he went on to say they are better than the base screaming that pigeonholes them, when your review just pigeonholed them completely. I feel this review is probably not written by a metal fan. I doubt many metal fans work at the Coast.

“Add that to the grin-inducing flourishes of the production, and these guys have the chops and smarts to rock your military boots off.”
uh, yeah he’s really bashing them there…..
“…its metal and ’80s thrash guitars are fierce enough. This is some killer stuff from Fredericton…”
ooo, how dare you…..
seems like a decent review to me… and metal heads know from the get-go what they’re getting into. suck it up and fuck off.
In order for your band to get a good review on The Coast, you need to be one of those artsy-fartsy indie folk singers who graduated with either a NSCAD or Dalhousie Arts degree and sound like Joel Plaskett or Jewel. You must be way too skinny with unkept hair, wear vintage clothes, scarves (yes, even in summer), and dark-rimmed glasses. There must be at least one token female in your band (a token black guy is also a plus) and at least one person with a harmonica that’s used between the folksy singing parts… because that’s not lame or anything.
